AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Superb flat-form pitcher in mid-century sculptural art pottery by the French artist Tim Orr; erased signature, though you can still discern some numbers, but entirely recognizable by its shapes, catalogue, or even examples found on the net (see photos)
In perfect condition, it has its original stopper
An artist whose value is rising, buying this Wonder is not just a crush but also an investment
Provenance: Auction house "LA ROCHELLE"
TIM ORR, born in England, sculptor, painter and ceramicist. He settled in Biot, France, in 1960 and lived with Jacqueline (1933-1989). They were among the first to work porcelain at an artistic level, and they produced several major works such as a series of four large sculptures for the Lapeyronie Hospital in Montpellier. They decided to leave the Côte d’Azur for the Hérault and settled in Brissac.

Seller's Story

Passionate about flea markets, and antiques of all kinds since my childhood, I was already selling on this site as an individual, the joy and kindness of the buyers made me understand that it was the right time to get started in my small business, I pay particular attention to the lots offered in order to be able to satisfy you, all my objects benefit from a very light cleaning and no restoration so that you can judge for yourself their quality and condition, so good auction to all and see you soon I hope
